Title: Remote protection of three phase distribution transformers
IPC: H02H3/44
Filed: 1987-09-15
Abstract: It is desirable to provide remote digital protection of distribution transformers. A protection system is disclosed which is able to detect increases in transient D.C. current flowing in the respective phases of a distribution cable (10) feeding a transformer and also to detect increases in other selected functions of supply parameters for identifying and quantifying a fault current flowing in the distribution cable (10).

Any such fault current can then be quantified and the triggering of a circuit breaker (19) initiated to isolate the supply cable on identifying a fault current. The circuit breaker (19) is not triggered for any increases in the other functions for as long as there is a detected increase in D.C. current in any phase.

Title: A container for the purpose of humidifying vessels of flowers and plants and vessels capable of humidifying flowers and or plants.
Inventor: GARDNER TERRY
IPC: A01G27/04
Filed: 1994-04-11
Abstract: A container (1) made for instance of ceramic, terracotta, or plastic material, is capable of supporting conventional vessels (4) by means of a plate (3) which is provided with openings. The vessels have a top peripheral border (5) which protrudes with respect to the peripheral border of the container so that the vessels are raised from the bottom of the container. Water is placed at the bottom of the container, some strips of felt (9) or similar absorbing material is inserted into the vessel and reaches the bottom of the container so that water is transferred to the soil by capillary action and also by evaporation. The containers consist of three compartments; the upper compartment (7) containing the soil, the lower compartment (6) containing the water, and an intermediate compartment (24) forming an air chamber. The walls (the container (1), the plate (3), and the vessel(s) [4]) containing the air chamber (24) act as an evaporation barrier. As water evaporates from the reservoir (6) it condenses along the walls containing the air chamber (24). Water is thereby reclaimed by the reservoir or is absorbed by the soil in the upper chamber (7). <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0783231-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BAUDOUIN CHARLES A
IPC: G06T5/20
Filed: 1996-12-19
Abstract: Edge Enhanced Noise Reduction (EENR) is a frequency dependent
instantaneous compander system. It is applied only in the encoder both to
Chrominance and luminance, and is best placed after the horizontal and vertical
down sampling filters in the pre-processing stages of an encoder (not shown per
se). High frequency, low level information (mainly noise) are reduced
significantly in amplitude. In particular, EENR is designed to preserve edge
details. In addition, a vertical recursive filter can be used to prevent low level
vertical information from being removed by the system. This is partially useful in
the luminance path. High level, high frequency components remain virtually
unaffected. The system is 'transparent' to low frequency information. 
     EENR has been designed to work in conjunction with MPEG encoding
presented with source material which is slightly noisy and where the transmission
bit rate is being constrained. It has been designed to provide minimal loss in
picture quality due to the noise reduction process itself. It is not necessary to
provide a complementary process in the receiver.

IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: A process for liquefying natural gas containing mercaptans.
Mercaptans are concentrated into a distillate stream by distilling the feed
gas stream without specific pretreatment for mercaptans removal. Thus,
the mercaptans removal equipment is much smaller since mercaptans
treatment can take place at a point in the process where the flowrate is
much lower. A portion of the treated distillate stream can be reinjected to
the upstream distilling stage to facilitate mercaptan absorption.

Title: Tyre condition assessment
IPC: G01M17/02
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: Method and apparatus for automotive tyre condition
and other article assessment is based upon radiation
analysis of a rotated tyre. Analysis of reflected
radiation on the basis of intensity sensing provides
a measure of tread depth and sidewall profile,
together with tread location and other data. By
positional analysis of the tread depth locations
there is provided complementary information on the
tread wear pattern. Sidewall profile determination
enables identification of other tyre condition
factors. Tread depth and sidewall profile are also
determined by laser or other radiation line image
displacement techniques and a mountinq system is
provided for the apparatus enabling determinations
to be made without the use of a roller bed. Proper
positional alignment of the wheel to the apparatus
is determined by means of a reference datum derived
from reflected radiation within the apparatus. 
     Proper defined proximity of the tyre is defined by
a pair of alignment bars positioned over an optical
window of the apparatus.

Abstract: A control system (22) for a vertical vane covering for an architectural
opening includes a new and improved symmetric headrail (20) having uniquely designed
carriers (26) for suspending individual vanes (24) wherein the carriers (26) are designed to minimize
skewing relative to a tilt rod (42) as they are moved along the headrail (20). A pantograph (44)
system is utilized to interconnect the carriers (26), and is connected to the carriers (26) in
alignment with the tilt rod (42) so as to minimize skewing. The carriers (26) have pockets (164)
formed therein through which the traverse cord (68) extends so that the traverse cord (68),
which moves the carriers (26) along the tilt rod (42), is secured to a lead carrier (26) closely adjacent
to the tilt rod (42) to, again, minimize skewing. Light blocking rails (240) are also attachable to
the headrail (20) to substantially bridge the gap between the headrail (20) and the top of the
suspended vanes (24) to prevent light from passing therebetween. The tilt rod (42) is keyed to
gears in the carriers (26) to facilitate assembly of the control system (22) with all vanes (24) properly
aligned.
